As You Knit...

so shall you rip.

Stupid short row heels. I’m about to abandon Attempt #2, rip back, and try for Attempt #3 on these socks. One side of the heel looks quite nice.

Nutkin, the Good Side

The other side of the heel, however, looks as if it had been gnawed on by beavers. Wool-eating beavers.

Nutkin, the Bad Side

(An aside to my husband – Yes, dear. I do know the photos are out of focus. I also realize that they are over-exposed. And I did notice that the color balance was off. Yes, I am aware that it pains you to look at them. Sorry. You try taking close-ups of your own heel with a point-and-shoot camera in poor lighting, with no off-camera flash. And no Photoshop.)

I’m going to go have a wee glass of wine now. Then I will decide whether to fold laundry or rip my sock.

    I would never complain about the quality of the pictures in your posts… I’m not that stupid.

    Sad to see you rip again. But this time even I can see that there’s a mistake or three…

    Sorry about the continued rippage… your writing is so dang funny though. Thanks for the grin, I needed it. I’m in bed recovering from stomach flu.
